Provide information and training that enables corporate and plant level management to successfully implement precision and proactive maintenance practices towards a goal of improved reliability and profitability. To schedule your personalized on-site training class, see page 55 for contact information. On-site only Tuition on request 2 days Proactive Reliability Maintenance is a trademark of SKF USA Inc. Improving the reliability of plant machinery is the key to gaining or maintaining a competitive advantage. However, many companies continue to struggle with poor reliability in spite of repeated improvement efforts. The basis for success is changing the fundamental way maintenance is performed. Few maintenance programs have addressed this important topic. Computerized Maintenance Management Systems and condition-based maintenance programs can provide significant returns, but do little to modify actual hands-on maintenance practices. Repeated premature failures can be detected with condition monitoring and scheduled in the CMMS system at considerable savings over a run-to-failure maintenance mode. A proactive and precision approach, as presented in this course, identifies and corrects the root cause of the repeated failures. Proactive and precision maintenance goes beyond root cause failure analysis. It affects the way routine maintenance is performed on all machinery, the way machines are operated, the specification and purchase of machinery and replacement parts, and the way maintenance and production are managed. This course provides a detailed look at reliability and influencing factors and presents a practical approach to improving machinery reliability in any industry. The course includes the following topics, with an emphasis on solutions over theory: Definitions of reliability based on industry and application Failure sources Beyond root cause root prevention Reliability within the traditional maintenance models Overview of condition-based maintenance and common pitfalls Implementation of reliability key steps towards positive change Conducting a maintenance practices assessment Monitoring performance and improvement key performance indicators Overview of common machinery problems, their correction, and their prevention Precision and proactive mechanical maintenance techniques MS100 Proactive reliability maintenance MB03014 Reactive maintenance MB03033 Maintaining a competitive edge GS02010 Asset efficiency optimization work management process MS120 Operator driven reliability BBONN_FWD Benchmarking for best practices in maintenance management skf.com/us/knowledge-centre.com 8

11 Maintenance Strategy MS230 Maintenance Strategy Review (MSR) Awareness Maintenance, plant/facility engineering staff, rotating equipment engineers and maintenance supervisors. Managers at industrial plants, reliability engineers and those interested in rotating equipment performance and reliability. By the end of this course students should: Know if a review of strategy is required and why Recognize the importance of data structure and content before performing any kind of strategy work Understand the importance of identifying and categorizing assets Understand that there are differing types of criticality at different levels for different purposes Understand what will likely be involved to conduct the right analysis, and what the implications are of making the strategy work Recognize the commonalities and difference in possible strategies Understand the important implications to spares Understand that certain classes of equipment require specialized approaches to strategy review (i.e., SCS > via SIL/IPF, etc.) To schedule your personalized on-site training class, see page 55 for contact information. Before we explore the technical details of strategy, we must understand each organization, what their issues are, which issues matter to whom, and how the issues can be incorporated into a plan. There must be a documented need to look at an existing maintenance strategy or create a new one for the right business reasons. Having the right maintenance, performed on the right equipment, by the right person, at the right time, for the right reasons is what we all want. Maintenance strategy is the key to asset reliability and availability, thus achieving overall organizational goals. How do you know if a review of your maintenance strategy is required and why? Data structure, content and categorization is paramount before any kind of strategy work begins. There are many different methods to determine asset criticality, at different levels for different purposes. Having good, solid data, and using the appropriate criticality techniques will allow an organization to conduct the most appropriate asset rank/prioritization analysis. Then the implications of making the maintenance strategy work can be understood. The purpose of this course is to make users aware of Maintenance Strategy Review and how they can apply it. Specific topics include: Conceptual models and business context Obtain a common understanding of terminology Standards, models, and excellence Understanding the current situation The essential link failure and strategy What is strategy? Mutual understanding and readiness Can we conduct MSR?

The arena of Asset Management encompasses a variety of maintenance approaches, techniques and technologies. This course explores Asset Management best practices and helps you select the most appropriate combination to optimize asset management in your organization. The concept of asset improvement emerged in recent years as the total organization of a physical asset s life cycle to achieve the lowest cost with maximum return. As such, it spans an entire organization, beyond maintenance or operations functions. Asset management demands continuous, prioritized improvement through design and procedural change. Success is measured by the contribution to a company s results and shareholder value. This is an advanced course for individuals who have experience in maintenance processes, tasks and results analysis. The course relates to methods, technologies and best practices used to develop, implement and sustain your optimized maintenance strategy and guides you to benefit from the living program for continuous improvement. This course explores the justification for your maintenance strategy; examines various strategies and helps you to optimize your current maintenance strategy or transition to a more appropriate strategy. Benefits of implementing the correct maintenance strategy include improved asset reliability, increased uptime and moving your organization from a reactive culture to a reliability-focused culture. This course helps you establish your road map for why specific maintenance should be done; what maintenance should be done, on what equipment and how frequently it should be performed. You can leverage this knowledge and use the information gained to refine your maintenance program and enable continuous improvement. You will learn techniques to recognize when a change is needed, charting that change and then measuring the impact of the change.
